I have a total of 45 hrs on my L IV and in that
time(accumulated since July 8th this year) I have on several
occasions had the gear not come up after take-off I
was
under the assumption that it was probable because I
was
a little over 120kts and slowed down and recycled
the
gear and they would come up fine. On Sept. 1st
took-off
to fly to Redmond and the gear would not come up
after
3 tries, I landed and put the plane away and drove.
On my
return I jacked the plane up and cycled the gear 6
times
and they worked fine, someone listening to the
hydraulic
pump said it sounded like it was not producing
enough
pressure so I turned up the pressure until I could
hear the
pump lug down more toward the end of the cycle and
it
ran longer as well. I flew again today to test the
gear and
the gear would not come up my 3 green gear
down lights
went out (where as on the 1st the left main gear
light stayed
on) but was confirmed from the ground that the nose
gear
did retract but the main just seem to hang
straight down but would not come up into the wheel wells. I
would
appreciate any ideas or thoughts.
